Not necessarily a mod, but decided to pick up a new kayak. Got some roof mounts from Amazon that work great, the straps that came with it not so well but fortunately I had some better ones.

Using the stock rook cross bars work great and its stable up to about 60 miles an hour, didn't test any higher.

Gotta clean the truck though...ugh.

So after years of staring at faded rear tail lights, I began to notice slight cracks. I started shopping and wanted something a little different. I ended up settling on these....don't look ricey (to me anyway) and give it a little more updated look. Very happy with the look. Also took some time to wet sand the wheels and use some Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish to clean them up.

Also had the opportunity to ride in the passenger seat and ride a couple of weeks ago and noticed the float in the ride, so broke down and got new shocks. Definitely leveled it out and stiffens the ride. Very happy with the outcome.

The tail lights look nice. They don't seem ricey at all to me either.

Default Pumpkin Android Car Stereo

So got a great deal on a used Pumpkin Android Stereo. Got it installed today while keeping the factory Bose amp working....great clear sound with great range...I know I could get more using aftermarket speakers but I’m happy with what I’ve got. Plus the ability to connect to my OBD2 adapter is sweet... Torque app. Will install Car Gauge Pro later...
Fits nice...
Corny background...just playing
First boot....

Thanks! Part of me wishes the opening was a little bigger but I’m still happy with it. Eventually I might try to trim it a bit but for now it’s good as is.
